Nigeria! My Country

avatar

Planet earth is forever developing and human population is never on its lag phase. This to an extent must be considered in order to prepare for whatever that may come in the future.

Source
I'm from the southern part of Nigeria which is rich in mineral resources.
No doubt about the fact that our country has had many incompetent leaders, both state and national levels, but we still endured the tenures and moved on with our lives.
Amidst the incompetencies, there exist many good qualities and favours offered by both the people and the land (Nigeria).
Truth must be told, I have never in any way experienced earthquakes or flooding or any natural disaster caused by man or nature. That is a very well considered fact which many countries are not experiencing.
Yes, we have terrorists ravaging some parts of the norths, but where I come from, there's nothing of that nature.
You must be wondering, what's my religion.
I'm a Christian from birth and my region is Christian-dominated, meaning that we value lives and love one another for whatever the Lord does for us.


Earlier this year, the government dominated by the Muslim and the people of the north inflicted different varieties of pains on the entire people of Nigeria. They made it known to everyone that the use of old Naira notes designs ranging from 200-1000 Naira notes must not serve as part of the country's currencies on or before 11th February, even with the high cost and scarcity of fuel or petroleum products.
The entire country was running helter skelter, a very excited random state full of confusion and dismays.
For many people operating locally, it seemed like hell door was left open above their heads.
People packed their hard earned money to the banks, hoping that the bank would exchange it to the new design, but the reverse was the case.
After the month of February, the entire country ran out of cash, leading to heavy drop in business.
Yes, the standard of living dropped to over 400% even with the current over -400% inflation rate.
How will the people survive?
Is this life worth living?
What is wrong with our leaders?
I am not proud of my country for this action because, many people (including me) suffered so much for survival.
The government has failed, the supreme court has failed, online banking system failed, the offline banking system failed, our leaders failed, our military and paramilitary failed, everyone failed Nigeria, the president failed.
If you ask me if I would love to travel out of Nigeria, the answer is yes and yes till infinity.
Our leaders have no future plan for the youths. The economy does not make room to favour youths but instead, it has big possibilities of enslaving them or confining them to becoming soldiers, as if we are fighting war.
The most annoying part of it all is the rate at which the politicians are creating division among the people, leading to the acknowledgement of the differences religiously, tribal and ethnicity.
Damn, am not proud of the current Nigeria.
The entire system is working upside down. Truth must be told.

The country is really backsliding this is why we merged our hope on the just concluded presidential election and shockingly to us it looks like we will be going round the same circle again which i pray not.

The leaders are thinking less on the less privileges and care more about their selfish interests well, i am not here to criticize anyone on this subject but we are surely hoping for a better governance

Hmmmmmm there is no hope for youths as long as we have this hungry men on the throne, they have no plans to make things better, they just want to keep ruining it until it is no more and that is why we all want to move out because they don't care about our life and we'll being...

The issue of old note ban is just the apex of it all and that means their personal interests comes first than our life and we'll being...

Thanks for this beautiful post...

Yes, that's it.
How can you work to save money in the bank and won't have access to it?!
It's very disgraceful, a strong limitation to the less privileged.
Well, we must fight together as a people against bad government and leadership.
Nigeria must be better.
Thanks too for stopping by.

What is wrong with our leaders

Like leaders in every country, they only care about themselves.

The major problems we have been facing in this country called Nigeria is bad leadership on the seat. Despite all ups and downs, Nigeria has got some things to be proud of but only leaders who has the welfare of the citizens in their heart will work it out for us to enjoy what we are naturally endowed with.

I still believe that the country can be better again, however searching for a greener pastures isn't bad

True!
We can't enjoy any of the endowment with a credible leadership or government.

But I believe that the better days a few steps away.

The topic of the new notes is definitely one that has had a significant impact on your country. You mentioned so many failure but it is clear that Nigerians are showing their resilience as they carry on the best they can.
Good to read that you still love your country.

A large part of the problems of the nation are caused by bad government. We can come out of this, but it'll take time. Time which some of us don't have, totally understand why you wouldn't hesitate to leave.
